Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has claimed that some international forces are conspiring to put Pakistan on the black list of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the government was making efforts to foil these designs, The News reports on April 9. He said the country was already included in the grey list and the foreign ministry was performing its responsibilities in quite professional manner to foil all conspiracies against the country.
Qureshi believed that India would not commit a mistake of attacking Pakistan. He warned that if India committed any aggression against Pakistan, it would face serious consequences. Pakistan has the right to defend itself according to the international laws, he added.
He said Pakistan was observing restraint to end tension with India and its positive gesture for peace should not be construed as its weakness. The entire world has realised Indian aggressive designs, and Pakistan had told the world community to prevent it from any aggression. The international community should not keep mum on the issue now due to sensitivity of the issue. Qureshi said on the other hand, Pakistan was releasing Indian prisoners as a goodwill gesture. Pakistan had released Indian pilot under the same passion and the country was releasing war prisoners as a goodwill gesture and expecting the same gesture from the neighbouring country.
